Naad Yoga Teacher Training is a course of study in two parts. Level 1 is a three-year programme and covers the first six grades of learning on the instrument chosen to support the voice. It covers all aspects of Naad Yoga and provides a solid foundation for personal practice, teaching, performance, and healing.

Level 2 is open only to students who have successfully completed Level 1, have passed an assessment and attended an interview. Level 2 deepens the knowledge gained in Level 1, and allows for students to specialize in a chosen area while completing grades 7 and 8 on the instrument.

A core element of Level 1 is the Sangat & Seva module, where students in years 2 and 3 have the opportunity to step into the role of teacher and complete 108 hours of teaching under the guidance of Prof. Surinder Singh and other senior teachers. Teaching others is the fastest way to mastery in any given subject. read more…

Course Structure and Delivery

The Naad Yoga Teacher Training is facilitated by Naad Yoga Council International and the curriculum delivery is performed by Raj Academy Conservatoire.

Course Structure Level 1

Each year of Level 1 follows a similar structure:

24 weeks of self-guided learning with online or DVD course materials, to be completed within 36 weeks

1h support session per week with a personal tutor (if available in your area; otherwise individual Skype session on request)

36h of group classes delivered either on a monthly basis (4h per month) or quarterly (12h of teaching per weekend, 3 weekends per year). The offered structure of delivery depends on the country and the teacher delivering it.

starting in the second year, the Sangat & Seva module will give students 1h of teaching experience per week (36h per year) under the guidance of senior staff. This amounts to a total of 108h of teaching experience. Students who opt out from the Sangat & Seva module will receive the Naad Yoga Diploma Certificate after completion of Level 1, instead of the Naad Yoga Teacher Training Certificate. read more…
